Review
What an emotional roller coaster of a novel! One certainly needs concentration as the highly colourful and incorrigible characters race across the page. There is never a dull moment where Her Honour Judge Charlotte Treharnes extended family is concerned. Charlotte, Rucks unpredictable heroine, is reminiscent of a chameleon: one moment every bit the judge, the next a petite redheaded siren with freckles on her nose. The supporting cast are no less vibrant, each with their individual plots. The matriarch of the family, Charlottes mother Lise Treharne, built up a highly successful business; now an octogenarian, she has a past that will not be forgotten. Charlottes brother, Kristian, a farmer, a gentleman, a hero with a wooden leg, is married to his Guardian-reading wife Myfanwy. Angharad, their wilful daughter, approaching middle age, still has the desire to shock her parents. As depraved, revengeful and murderous personalities have the reader reeling, they embark upon suicide, eating disorders and the desire for babies. There is an engaging humour, together with a controversial, if not politically incorrect, dialogue. When it comes to ageist sexism Charlotte was all for it. In her view the only competent and reliable employee was a woman over fifty-five, and even that was risky. She had never been one to shirk the truth, which for many men, even her fellow Judges, was part of her attraction. Damn, Charlotte grinned, she wouldnt have employed herself, let alone any other woman. If anyone was typical of her breed, she was! Ruck is a masterful and perceptive storyteller; he would have to be with such an abundance of characters in his narrative. An Equal Judge is a book you will not want to put down until the very necessary and appeasing epilogue is read. This is the first of Julian Rucks novels that I have read. I shall now be scouring the bookshelves for his name.
